Every 1st, 3rd and 5th week of the month, i look forward to the new release that Sami Stampscreates. This time the release is called Frosty Cuties!

The challenge at Sami's Stamps is to use a Sami Stamp and a Christmas Embellishment.
Please come and play, we'd love to see what you can create. Don't
forget, Sami always offers a freebie so anyone can play along! To go to the Sami Stamps challenge click here.

For this project i am using a My Besties 3D sheet called Waiting For Santa/Christmas Peppermint found at Sherri Baldy's My Besties Etsy store here or Scrapbook Stamp Society here

Side view showing the 3D layers:

This sheet is so versatile. You can use it in at least 4 ways. One, you can use the basic colored image (1st layer), two you can make the 3D full size, three you can make her just sitting as i shared in an earlier blog post or this way with just the head and arms. This would make an adorable ornament!

Here is how you would layer this version:

These sheets are fun and easy to use! They are all pre-colored
for you, all you do is print out your sheets, cut out the pieces you
wish to use and layer them with foam tape, foam dots/squares or Silicone
glue.

Dies i used:

the snowflake behind the image is from Spellbinders.

an example of how Sherri designs images. Link to this image 347 here.
Here is a picture of my granddaughter that Sherri turned into an image:

I love this sweet whimsical image called, "Pup for you"! I have turned this image into an ornament using the box base to create an actual box.

For this project i am using a My Besties 3D sheet called Garden Nellie found at Sherri Baldy's Scrapbook Stamp Society here

Side view showing the 3D layers:

This ornament is double sided. I printed the image off two ways. One way was how i received it and then the other way i flipped it horizontally. I did the 3D and sandwiched the two together. I added an acrylic strip between the two completed images, it accomplishes two things..support for her tiny neck when cut out and i also extend the acrylic to go beyond her head so that i can tie the ribbon on for a hanger. I covered up the acrylic with a bow on both sides (front and reversed side (back)). To make the skirt i cut two lengths of tulle to make two skirts, placing the two sections together i then hand sewed a gathering stitch. I placed the skirt between the two layers like the acrylic. Made a bow for both sides at the waist and attached them. I then embellished the 3D image with Stickles..and that's it..a sweet little ornament.

These sheets are fun and easy to use! They are all pre-colored
for you, all you do is print out your sheets, cut out the pieces you
wish to use and layer them with foam tape, foam dots/squares or Silicone
glue.

Every day for the month of December My Besties International will be hosting a My Besties
Design Team Member from around the world! Isn't that exciting!

Today i would like to share a special project I made for the blog using the the My Besties freebie available here.

Here is my card/project with some info on how i created this card:

This image is called Brooksie Book Nerd. I decided to have her read a
Christmas book. So i used a vintage book cover and reduced it and rotated it to fit on the
cover of this book on this image. I made a small slit and tucked the cover of the book
inside. She is reading "Twas the night before Christmas" and that is
why i added the sleigh and clock from Marianne Designs. I hope you have
enjoyed this card and will give this a try and enter our current
challenge that ends on Friday...or color up this freebie for the next
challenge that starts on Monday!

Here is the image i used to make this book cover.

Please join us daily at My Besties International for some beautiful Christmas Inspiration!

What you must do to win this prize???
You will need to leave comments on all of the blog hop participants from the list shown on at the bottom of this post. You have until Dec. 3 to leave your comments.

This image is a 3D image it comes pre-colored and all you have to do is cut it out. I chose not to use the peppermint shown on the sheet and had her sit on the letter "O" instead. This sheet is very versatile and you can make it 3 ways. Full view, sitting only, and head shot. Come back in a few weeks and see the head shot view and what i did to make it.
